i have a bc rich and it seems that the high e string cut thru the nut on the neck what could be a easy solution to this or am i gonna have to get a new nut?

How exactly did it cut through? Did a piece fall off?

I had my nut crack and a piece fell off, I had to take it to a repairman and have a new one installed.

I believe UGB has adressed that in a post some where. Try a search.

Here is UGBs fix.
"
To take a stab at adjusting the nut yourself, remove the string, aquire the smallest amount of Super Glue you can on the end of a toothpick and carefully work the Super Glue into the nut slot attempting to just raise the bottom surface of it a tad. Let it dry thoroughly then string her up and see what you have. If too much glue was applied you can file it down, carefully, to the right height."
Hope that helps.

The best solution is a new nut, but I have repaired quite a few with super glue and bone dust. I make some bone dust with an old nut or saddle and a file. Fill the slot on the nut with the dust, then add a drop of superglue to the dust. It will harden almost instantly. Make sure it's good and dry and then re-file the slot. You will need a file that can cut the thin slot required.

Bone dust is very bad for the lungs. Good ventilation is a must. Graphite dust is the most dangerous of all. You need a very good mask as well to save your lungs if your working on a graphite nut.

I'd replace the nut and yes, some are better than others. On the better end you can get one made of a graphite material. On the cheap end a plain plastic one.
